Sometimes you just need an amazing burger! Old school burger stands just can't be beat! The ladies were playful, making meal suggestions. And the chocolate shake? OMG! Hook me up to an IV! I hope to make it back!

A little hole in the wall but not fast food. They get busy with to-go and doordash orders so don't think you'll pop in and be out in no time. If you only have a half hour lunch you'll be cutting it close. Got a pastrami sandwich. Was pretty good but high priced for the size and quality. Took a bit to get it made but we were patient and tipped well. No bathroom, semi outdoor picnic table bench seating next to the road. Been there, done that.

If you're looking for a good greasy chili dog then this place is it. pretty tasty with pepperoncinis and onions and a bunch of chili. The sampler plate with a pile of greasy items like mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers and fried everything is pretty decent. We had always gone by this place and wanted to try it out. I would go back again. The girls that work there are very nice.

American food. Burgers, Hotdogs, chili fries, and shakes. It doesn't look like much from the outside. You would not expect it, but to say I love this place is an understatement. The food it always hot, fresh, and never greasy. The chili is AMAZING. Real chili does not have beans in it. And if you like milk shakes.... Oh man, do they do that good too? Yes. FYI, there is no bathroom for guests.

This restaurant eminates the true essence of America. The western deluxe BLT was an amazing sandwich, the mozzarella sticks were perfectly crispy, and the drinks were amazing. I would recommend coming here.

Amazing food at reasonable prices, super nice employees, definitely worth a try!!
I've been here a few times, they have really great hotdogs, burgers, and shakes. I haven't disliked anything I've tried so far!
It's a great little roadside "shack", doesn't look like much but it's a real gem. They can get busy, buy they're still fairly quick. I highly recommend the caliente dog and Oreo shake! Stop by if you want some delicious, reasonably priced food.

My wife had the Polish dog and I had a double pastrami burger. She really liked hers and mine was excellent. We shared fries, which were good, and had shakes, which were really good.

I had a hambuger, onion rings, and a chocolate peanut butter shake. The stars are for the shake which was top notch delicious. The hamburger was alright but nothing to write home about, and the onion rings I would not get again.
